Good points Hawkeye. But when we went into Knoxville TN (about twenty miles from where I was visiting my brother and SIL as well as my niece DeAnna and her husband, i elected to ride with them instead of my brother's family sedan my reasoning will become obvious).

We came off the ramp on I-75 and there being no traffic he went up through the gears with the paddle shift and in seconds we were over 125 when he backed it down. Of course anyone who owns a 100,000 dollar Maserati Gran Sport should be able to pay for the fuel!
